Opel Diagnosing - before 1997 OBD2 / ALDL - Irreligious - 28-08-2015

Hi!
I was wondering about my TECH2.
I have the ALDL connector in tool case, but there is only 97' above in Tech2
Is it possible to get software for old cars to Tech2?
Is that software existing at all?

I have lot of clients, they are talking to me that: "I was in few garages n' nobody can diagnose my (old) car"
So I take the pins n' I'm connecting my OBD2 connector to the ALDL....
It is annoying me, Pins is falling out, someday I burn my device (Texa/Launch/Gutman).
Maybe I buy some adapter, but I think that factory device is better than all other..

Do you guys have some knowledge about that?

I know that before '97 it was Tech1 in use. Not sure that Tech2 can be transformed into Tech1 somehow.

Only Tech1 is working in Opel cars up to 1997
Another tool that works well in that cars is OP-COM but ofcourse not full covere as Tech1
Good luck
